This was a very strangely toned piece, indeed. Beginning well enough with the support of Buddhist meditation for those who are quite disturbed, it then launches into a very "un-Buddhist" sounding tirade against the U.S. government and rumored spy techniques.

The writing is of a style one would expect from the most deeply suspicious conspiracy theorists, combined with red-herring disinformation, finger-pointing and an air of propaganda about it. I go to your site for truly Buddhist information and community support, not the type of outrageous accusations that Mr. Shimatsu presents.

I understand that we live in a world of political divisiveness, but careful screening of articles that use our beloved Dharma as a platform for their political agenda, would be appreciated.

Other than this one article, I go to your site frequently to keep up with the global movement of Buddhist practice. - In Emptiness!
